From the Creator and Coauthor of the Popular 101 Questions Children Ask about...Series--A Practical Guide on How to Build a Strong, Tangible Spiritual Foundation in Your Children's LivesMany of today's parents remember their own childhood experiences with God and religion as abstract and confusing, leaving them with more questions than answers. It is with this in mind that Rick Osborne has created Talking to Your Children about God, an indispensible guide for parents who want to be prepared for those "hard-to-answer" questions about God.

What's so important about the Bible? Why do we go to church? What should I say when I pray? Does God watch everything I do?What is heaven like?What are angels?I highly recommend Rick's resources to every parent. [He] is one of God's gifts to parents."--Josh McDowell, acclaimed Christian author and speaker.
